I Was Trying To Figure This Out Last Season

I Play Pro Line Here In Ontario Which Is A Sports Lottery.

You Can Bet On Game Outcomes,Point Spreads And Pools.

With The Pool All You Have To Do Is Pick Each Winning Team,Visitor Or Home.

Every Week There Are Anywhere From 13-15 Games Excluding Thursday.

So I Was Trying To Figure Out How Many Possible Combinations There Were For x Amount Of Games.

Each Play Is $5.You Can Also Box Up To 4 Events.(Each Team Is Covered)

If You Box 1

Actually In Most Weeks There Is Only 1 Sunday Night Game.

The Others Are Played Earlier On,lol. So The Answer Would Be 2.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Reality,

There Are 2 Outcomes For Each Game. Visitor Or Home (Not Counting Ties)

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2....etc = 213

Do This 13 Times And It Should = 8192 Outcomes

How many combinations are there for sunday night football win/loose for 13 game? I try to do the combinations in a permutation/combination calculator! The answer that i got was 78 but my brain will not accept it. I think it should be a lot more? i think i'm putting it in wrong!

Thanks Alchemist
